I haven't used this extension yet, but I have set it up. Easy install and didn't have any big problems.

However, there desperately needs to be a forum. I emailed the developers 3 or 4 weeks ago and never heard back. There is a need for a Joomla extension this simple, but I imagine a forum could really improve it.

A few suggestions:
-Support for multiple lists/subscriptions
-More focus on style. The signup form is incredibly drab. An hour of CSS could quickly improve the look of it.
-Don't automatically add Joomla Users to the list.
-Move "Name:" and "Email:" address into the fields instead of taking up all that space on the module.

Nevertheless, I couldn't find a better extensions for this, so keep up the good work and push this to the limits of greatness!

I'm torn over this review. The component does a great job at what it was meant to do and I can't find any other comparable alternative.

However, what I still really desire is a component that can output a pure Section List, not a list of Category Lists. Unless I'm missing something, this is not that component, but I would hope that future versions move toward offering this as well as the current display.

Also, I really wish it put out an RSS feed. Unless it's a problem on my end, I can't get an RSS feed on this, even though I use it for one of the more important pages of my website with lots of new content.

But, regards to the developer. You started something good here and I hope that open source status will push development of this extension forward.

It seems the bad ratings here are either lone cases or problems with older versions. I ran this on J1.5.3 without a single hitch. Easy install, good controls on the back end, no problems at all.

For an organization with half our content tied up in PDF publications, this was a must-have.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is a great extension. Almost a must have in my mind. I have used it extensively with my front page.

The large number of parameters on this module make it super configurable, something I really needed. However, I see no need for the large number of tables. To get this module really to where I needed it, I had to remove quite a few tables from the code.

I desperately needed this module, however I was dismayed to see the problem with SEF URLs. However, I think I found a fix and have posted it on http://www.brightcode.eu/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,28/func,view/catid,6/id,427/#425. Hopefully the change will be used in the next version.

I was disappointed that this module didn't have any Description fields for the module and you can't customize the "Read More" text, but it's a solid module worth using if you have a lot of web links.

This is THE extension I needed. It works as advertised and I haven't had any problems.

Pros:
-Installation was a breeze.
-Out of the box design is great. I haven't had to make any changes CSS or otherwise to make it look great! I can think of few extensions where this is true.

Cons:
-Nothing major really, just a few suggestions.

A few suggested Changes:
-I like the previous suggestions of inline attachments and including attachments in RSS feeds.
-I think the "Hide Attachments For" parameter might be better served by two parameters. A drop down for frontpage and article's only and a text box for the category/section limits.
-A very small complaint: I wish that the filetype icon and document name were in the same link. I have an underline under all links that disappears when hovered over. Hence, I wanted the icon and text to be in a single link. It was easy to do by making slight changes to lines 677 and 678 in helper.php, but I'd think this would be a good change to incorporate in the next version.

But again, bravo. Great extension!

This extension is exactly what I needed, but a few problems I've noticed:
1) The span class used to surround the player in 1pixeloutplayer.php is "1pixelout." However, a css class cannot start with a number. For those of us who want to style that span (for instance display: block; border: #XXXXXX; etc;), the class must start with a letter, not a number.
2) There is no way to style the volume control color.
3) There is no way to change the color of the slider.
